Your Mama Hears...

...from Lenny Longisland that beleaguered media billionaire Rupert Murdoch has finally, at long last sold Rosehearty, his historic estate in the über-swank Long Island (NY) community of Oyster Bay.

The News. Corp. fat cat and his whip smart and super-feisty misssus Wendi Deng first purchased the prime piece of waterfront property in 2003 and first heaved it back on the open market way back in June 2007 with an asking price of $14,800,000. Over the last four and some years the price tag of the bucolic 4.6 estate has been taken off and put back on the market several times while the price tag tumbled to $9,995,000.

Our informant Lenny Longisland snitched to Your Mama that word on the Oyster Bay real estate street is that the fully fenced and electronically gated estate sold for $9,100,000.

Property records do not yet reflect a transfer, kiddos, so for now this is just rumor and gossip.

Mister and Missus Murdoch still own and maintain a behemoth Fifth Avenue triplex bought in 2005 for a mind-numbing $44,000,000 as well as a secluded estate in the mountains above Beverly Hills (CA) that includes a stunning 8,651 square foot Wallace Neff-designed mansion with 11 bedrooms and 9 bathrooms.

Hey Mama, When Murdoch's living in a cell where he belongs, I hope you'll feature it, complete with floorplan. He's got a lot more than a pie coming to him for corrupting our governments and media. And now he's after America's schools. That leach will attach himself to anything he thinks will bleed money.

Too bad for the new owners, they'll never get the smell out of this pretty old house.

Hannity doesnt live next door to Murdoch. He lives about a quarter mile south on the same side of Centre Island. House is here: http://rss.amny.com/classifieds/real-estate/real-li-1.812034/price-cut-on-dolan-mansion-in-centre-island-1.825959

The sister of the late Shah of Iran owned the house across from Murdoch.

Further down the road on the South East point of the island is Billy Joel's house. Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt rented a house the two summers ago. Composer John Barry lived here for years until his death - he was good friends with another resident Alan Jay Lerner.
